Data protection training for employees
Data protection training is the most effective safeguard against human error when handling personal data. Incorrectly sent emails, missing encryption, or inadequate data deletion lead to data protection breaches every day – usually due to a lack of knowledge.
For this reason, insufficiently trained employees are among the most common causes of data protection issues. In addition, our data protection training turns uncertainty into confidence in action and creates awareness where it matters most.
At the same time, our interactive training courses prepare your teams for compliant data protection practices in their daily work.
Why you should act now
Human error
In many cases, human error is the cause of data protection breaches, which is why targeted training is essential.
Fines
Violations of the GDPR can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover.
Loss of trust
In addition, the loss or misuse of data leads to a massive loss of trust among customers and partners, putting entire business relationships at risk.
Trained employees
Well-trained employees identify risks, avoid mistakes, and act in compliance with data protection regulations.
Employee training is legally required. With our data protection training, you not only fulfill your legal obligations, but also receive clear documentation for supervisory authorities. At the same time, careless handling of personal data jeopardizes not only compliance, but also the trust of your customers. This is exactly where our training comes in, as it makes risks visible at an early stage. In addition, the content can be flexibly adapted to the respective roles within the company.
Our data protection training courses
at a glance
With the constantly growing technical possibilities of automated data processing, the risk of intentionally or unintentionally violating an individual’s fundamental rights is also increasing. For this reason, clear legal regulations – in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the Austrian Data Protection Act – were introduced to protect privacy.
This training provides your employees with the most important content of these legal provisions so that they can apply data protection securely in their daily work.
Additional data protection training courses
The EU General Data Protection Regulation
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) establishes a uniform data protection law throughout the European Union. It applies to all organizations that process personal data of EU citizens. This training provides your employees with fundamental, practice-relevant knowledge of this legal framework. Topics covered include data security and confidentiality, the right of access and erasure, and the lawfulness of processing personal data.
For companies in Austria or Germany, we also offer country-specific advanced training: the web-based trainings “Data Protection Austria” and “Data Protection Germany” each address the specific characteristics of the respective national data protection laws.
Data protection in Switzerland
Thanks to an entertaining, interactive story, this 3D training course introduces your employees to the topic of data protection in an easy-to-understand way. They learn, among other things, about the principles for processing personal data, measures to ensure data protection, the obligations of the controller, and the rights of the data subject. The main character, Reto, guides users through his daily work and illustrates, using everyday situations, what must be particularly considered when processing personal data. This web-based training is suitable for preparation for the new Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection.
Data protection in Austria
With the extensive technical possibilities of automated data processing, the risk of intentionally or unintentionally violating an individual’s fundamental rights increases. For this reason, clear legal regulations – the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG 2018) – were created to protect privacy.
This training provides your employees with the most important content of these legal provisions, such as the right of access and erasure or the market location principle. With the help of numerous interactive examples, the course places special emphasis on practical application in everyday professional life, making it easier to internalize what has been learned.
This web-based training is aimed specifically at companies in Austria, as it addresses not only EU-wide GDPR provisions but also Austria-specific content (e.g., image processing). For companies outside Austria or with locations in several countries, we recommend the e-learning course “The EU General Data Protection Regulation.”
Data protection and IT security
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) stipulates that companies must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal data. However, even the best security precautions reach their limits if employees do not adhere to certain basic rules.
This training therefore provides employees with essential information on data protection and IT security. Numerous examples and interactive content help to better internalize what has been learned and apply it in practice. Topics covered include basic concepts of the EU GDPR, safe internet use, social networks, and mobile IT devices.
